Vedic astrology, or Jyotish — the “science of light” — is one of humanity's oldest living divination traditions, refined in India over thousands of years. Unlike the Western horoscopes most Americans grew up with, the Vedic system reads the sidereal sky, puts the Moon at the center of your chart, and divides the heavens into 27 nakshatras, or lunar mansions, each with its own personality and story. In this section you'll learn how Vedic and Western astrology differ (and why your sign may change), meet the nakshatras, find your Vedic Moon sign, and explore the dasha system — Vedic astrology's remarkable timeline of planetary periods that maps the seasons of your life. Take it as spiritual entertainment, read with curiosity, and enjoy this ancient lens on your life.
